13 Feb 2024<\/em> – Day 130 of the ongoing genocide: Total killed 28,340 (+some 7,000 under the rubble to be added) and injured 67,984. 72% are women and children. This also does not count the thousands dead from lack of food, clean water, medicine and from infectious diseases and cold exposure. Desperate situation for over 2 million people in Gaza strip. Meanwhile as you expect, the news is mixed. Some groups speaking out and acting to end the genocide while others work to accelerate it.<\/p>\n

For example while UNRWA (https:\/\/www.unrwa.org\/) tries to do its mandate of humanitarian aid, Israeli authorities with support of the complicit puppet western governments are shutting its operations and hobbling it. And yes the Palestinian authority is permeated with corruption like the Israeli authorities. Both are like this by design with no democracy or rule of independent judiciary that serves everyone.<\/p>\n

In the case of Tel Aviv, the judiciary serves Zionist elites and in the case of Ramallah it serves the Fatah elites. In both cases common people suffer and the genocide in the Gaza strip is left to go on. And we continue to see heartbreaking stories like the two sisters who were so happy one moment and the next were hugging each other as shattered bodies hanging on a wall in their house.

Detailed Amnesty International report on the massacres in Rafah even before the intensification of bombing of this supposed safe area (that Israeli occupation asked people to move to). https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2024\/02\/israel-opt-new-evidence-of-unlawful-israeli-attacks-in-gaza-causing-mass-civilian-casualties-amid-real-risk-of-genocide\/<\/p>\n

Since then, Israeli forces started attacking starving\/famined civilians in a blitz in the past two days that killed over 140 people in Rafah alone (the supposed safe zone). See these
